Time 2h46m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

⅓ cup ranch dressing
1 teaspoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces
24 (1-inch) pieces red onion
12 slices thick cut bacon
salt and black pepper to taste
12 (6 inch) bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 2 hours

Steps:

Whisk together ranch dressing and hot chile paste in a large bowl.
Mix in chicken pieces and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Remove chicken from the bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat chicken pieces dry with more paper towels.
Thread a piece of onion about 1 1/2 inches down the skewer.
Thread the end portion of one strip of bacon onto skewer so the rest of the strip is hanging down. Skewer on a piece of chicken; thread on the next portion of the bacon. Turn the skewer so that the long end of the bacon is again hanging down. Repeat this process of skewering and turning until the entire strip of bacon is threaded, using 4 to 5 chicken pieces.
Thread a second piece of onion onto the end of the skewer.
Repeat steps 5 through 7 for all twelve skewers.
Season chicken skewers with salt and pepper as desired.
Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink in the center, 12 to 16 minutes total per skewer. Serve with ranch dressing as a dipping sauce.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
10 large mushrooms, cut in half
2 green onions, minced
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into chunks
½ pound sliced thick cut bacon, cut in half
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

In a large bowl, mix the soy sauce, cider vinegar, honey, canola oil, and green onions. Place the mushrooms and chicken into the mixture, and stir to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.

Remove the mushrooms and chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside.
Wrap the chicken chunks with bacon, and thread onto skewers so that the bacon is secured. Alternate with mushroom halves and pineapple chunks.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Arrange skewers on the prepared grill. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, brushing occasionally with remaining soy sauce mixture, until bacon is crisp and chicken juices run clear.

Tips:

For the most tender chicken, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
To make the bacon ranch marinade, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the marinade and stir to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the chicken onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bacon and vegetables. Grill the kabobs for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Bacon ranch chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The chicken is marinated in a creamy ranch dressing, then grilled to perfection. The bacon adds a smoky flavor, and the vegetables add a pop of color and nutrition. These kabobs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
